AND NOW... amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke... it is time for... that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-The-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him — do NOT doubt him — with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name (that’s Rush, for those in Rio Linda), the Mandarin of Talk Radio, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned Maha-Rushie! America’s anchorman, truth detector, and doctor of democracy. A real man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander-in-Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. Leader of the Conservative Movement. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo (a little Spanish lingo, there). He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). He is ready to do what he was born to do — host. Get ready to what you were born to do — listen. And post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread.
As fast and long Rush has been around espousing conservative principles and love for the republic, he changed in the primaries. Now he’s a died in the wool GOPe’r and anti-Trumper!
Died = dyed. Damn auto spell.
Afternoon MNJohnnie
You’re right. I think he well knows that Hitlery would be several magnitudes worse than 0bummer’s been. And he’s seriously worried what she could to to America in as weakened a condition as we’re now in, after only 8yrs.
I listened to Rush faithfully for decades - since my kids were little and even got through on the phones once.
I remember how Rush ended his show on election day four years ago, suggesting there was going to be a landslide. Well, there was... but not for OUR side.
So I turned him off. Nothing personal... I turned everything off. All news. All newspapers. Free Republic. Drudge. ANYTHING.
Last year, I was convinced to watch the first Republican debate, and during the first question, this guy who I wouldn’t have taken seriously for a moment suddenly made my jaw drop open. He said: “I don’t have much room in my life for political correctness.” More than that - he stood up for himself and did not allow himself to be bullied by the leftist media. Then he went on to explain that the entire political system was rigged and politicians, in general, simply responded to whoever plowed enough money into their bank accounts. I had never heard anyone talk like this, ever - and I knew at once that none of the other candidates mattered AT ALL.
A month or so later, in the car, I put on Rush again for the first time in years. But he wasn’t the same guy. I expected HIM to be blown away by Trump - the first person in the political arena to speak the truth about the system to the American public...well, maybe EVER - but instead all I heard is evasion, an unwillingness to even mention Trump’s name, and, later, flat out nonsense about what a “wonderful” person Mitt Romney is (you know, the guy who did everything he COULD to derail Trump), and what a paragon of honesty Ted Cruz is (which is a joke). He’s come around a little since then, but, clearly Rush expects Trump to fail. He said as much today. And he doesn’t seem too concerned about that.
Jealousy? I don’t know. Is Rush really an open borders guy and therefore the ultimate concern troll? Is he just getting older? I don’t know. But this isn’t the guy I used to listen to, and that saddens me.
No argument on the stuff you mentioned. Just pointing out we heard that song fairness doctrine song 8 years ago.
You’re right, we did.
No new thread?
Rush, of course, not doing enough prep, doesn’t realize the octopus story is from a song...
No one asked me to sub.
I had to run out to Jeep to get Thumb Drive w/ FR info on it.
And FR’s very slow to day.
Thread is up now.
I really appreciate your work, carriage hill. Sorry to be a nag!
No problem; always glad to help out. I should have brought the TD in earlier.
